labor force?

Guo Zi was stunned.

Is there any other way?

You are really Zhu Papi!

But let’s not talk about it, this is really a solution.

The Ministry of Industry's annual projects require a large number of laborers, such as the construction of the new capital of Peking and the construction of the Imperial Mausoleum of Peking. Each of these projects takes more than ten or twenty years and requires countless laborers!

However, if the people are recruited and forced to do corvee labor, the oppression will be severe and it will more easily lead to civil unrest.

And these urban foxes and green-skinned gangsters who have been arrested recently are all prisoners. They are prisoners without human rights. As long as they are not killed, it doesn't matter if they are squeezed more. They are regarded as atonement for their crimes.

After all, these usually arrogant and domineering urban foxes and community rats have people from the government standing behind them. Without the support of people from the government, these gangsters cannot stand at all and dare not be so domineering!

There are some things that are inconvenient for people in the government to come forward, so these gangsters are required to come out to do dirty work.

Moreover, these green-skinned gangsters often bully the market under the banner of the government and become a major cancer in the city of Beiping, with many lives on their hands!

Because of this, there is no need to worry about picking them up now.

After understanding this, Guo Zi nodded immediately.

"The King of Han has expressed his gratitude, and the lower officials understand."

Zhu Gaoxu said nonchalantly: "They are all scumbags who like to fight fiercely and bully the people. Don't be soft on them. Their treatment is half better than those Japanese slaves. As long as no lives are lost!"

Hearing this, the corners of Guo Zi's mouth twitched.

I don’t know why, but Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han Dynasty, was extremely disgusted with the Japanese slaves, and could even be said to hate them.

What did those despicable Japanese slaves do to make this "Zhu Papi" target them?

hiss……

The end is destined to be miserable!

After getting rid of those green-skinned gangsters, the two immediately started formulating a new business tax.

First of all, this new business tax is specifically levied on merchants. Depending on the type of business, it is naturally impossible to apply it across the board. For example, a wealthy businessman who buys silk cloth cannot have the same tax rate as a hawker selling steamed buns and fried dough sticks.

In addition, there are some merchants and shops engaged in special industries, such as brothels, brothels, etc. How should taxes be collected?

However, when Guo Zi heard that His Highness the King of Han was planning to impose a tax on brothels, and that the tax would be two taxes and one tax, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Damn it, two taxes and one, which means that those girls have to use half of the money they earn from selling themselves for one night to pay taxes. Isn't this a bit excessive?

"Ahem, Your Highness the King of Han, those brothel prostitutes are poor people, so your Highness's tax rate is not appropriate, right?"

Guo Zi had the guts to say this, but unexpectedly received a strange look from Prince Han, half-smiling but not smiling.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at this serious old guy and said with a teasing smile: "What, old man Guo, is there a lover in the brothel?"

Guo Zi: "???"

lover?

Hello, uncle!

How can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?

I am a disciple of a famous sect and I have always cherished feathers. How could it be possible...

Seeing Guo Zi blowing his beard and staring at him, looking like he was about to get angry, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly explained.

"The brothel is open for business, and the turnover is far more exaggerated than you imagined. How can it not collect taxes?"

"Those high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen often spend large sums of money in order to become the guests of famous prostitutes. This is also within the scope of business, but the abalone business they do is just abalone merchants."

Guo Zi: "!!!"

Beast!

You are noble!

You are amazing!

You tax brothels!

But what does "abalone trading" mean?

His Highness the King of Han’s vocabulary is really puzzling!

In short, this new commercial tax must be levied at different rates according to different industries. For example, the tax rates for industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood will be lowered, while the tax rates for some profit-making industries will be slightly higher.

In fact, these tax rate rules are easy to formulate, but the most difficult thing to determine now is turnover.

In terms of turnover, who can guarantee how much it will be?

It is impossible for the tax bureau to specially arrange people to watch in every shop to monitor their daily turnover. This is simply impossible!

As for the account books, they are even more unreliable. Some small shops have small profits and don't need to keep accounts at all.

How to tax such small shops, neither too low to ensure the quality of tax revenue, nor too high to affect the normal operation of small shops, is also a difficult problem.

As for those big shops, it is easier to collect taxes.

Because the owner of a large store cannot keep an eye on the business in the store all day long. He mainly relies on the shopkeeper and assistants to run the business. Basically, there are accounts that can be checked.

This requires the accountant to use the account book to manage the accounts. The tax bureau only needs to check the account book to know the store's monthly turnover.

As for whether these large shops will make false accounts, the answer is yes. Once they start paying taxes according to regulations, businessmen will do everything they can to evade taxes. This is human nature.

Even in modern society, there are specialized accountants who do accounting for various companies to reasonably avoid taxes, let alone ancient times when there is a lack of inspection methods.

Even the treasury can make a bunch of fake accounts, what kind of "devious tricks", and the abacus is clicking!

After all, the formulation of this tax rate requires a certain degree of control.

It is neither too high nor too low, so that businessmen feel that it is simply not worth it to bear the crime of tax evasion or even be thrown into jail for this small amount of tax money. This is why no one dares to test the law.

Guo Zi and Zhu Gaoxu had a heated discussion and finally settled on such a rough charter.

Regarding tax evasion, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net As long as a few tax evaders are caught in the early stage and severely punished to scare the monkeys, those shrewd businessmen will not do stupid things.

What's more, after the new business tax is enacted, the taxes merchants need to pay are definitely not as much as the filial piety money they give to officials and yamen.

Which one is more important, I think those merchants must be able to tell it clearly based on their shrewdness!

Zhu Gaoxu and Guo Zi discussed the new commercial tax many times. The professional knowledge of an ancient financial and taxation expert, coupled with the advanced thinking of a later soul, collided with each other, and soon a new tax system was released. .

Shops below a certain size are subject to a tax package system based on the size of the storefront. That is to say, no matter what the monthly turnover of your storefront is, taxes will be levied based on the area of ​​the storefront.

Shops and workshops above a certain size are taxed based on their actual turnover, and taxes are collected through account books, etc.

After the new commercial tax was enacted, Guo Zi also breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to ensure that there were no omissions, Zhu Gaoxu specially called Zhan Yuquan and asked this top businessman to evaluate the new tax system as a businessman.

After Zhan Yuquan read it carefully, he highly praised the new tax system.

As long as the tax bureau truly implements the new tax system, businessmen all over the world will usher in spring!

With Zhan Yuquan's approval, Zhu Gaoxu's heart finally returned to his stomach.

Then he took out the plan and presented it to Guo Zi.

"Old man Guo, this is the planning map of Beiping designed by me. It will be planned in different categories to create commercial circles, industrial zones, etc."

"Now that everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. The commercial district is tentatively scheduled to be located in Dongshi, making it the first commercial district in the Ming Dynasty!"

When Guo Zi and Zhan Yuquan heard this, they both looked excited!

The first business circle of Ming Dynasty!
